I'm somewhat shy with people I meet in person, but warm up real fast. I love to play. There's way too much sadness in the world, but through play, we have joy. I love life freedom, and service. I am devoted to my family and friends, some of whom I haven't yet met. There is always enough love for everyone. I love being outdoors and looooooove the snow! Being with my furry kids and my own babies has made me whole. Without their love and support I would be invisible. I am passionate about keeping a balance to our mother earth.
I had pet squirrels when I was 7. I was a free-climber by age 12, and have been able to have wild animals come up to me and eat out of my hand.
My Philosophy
Before you judge someone, walk 5 miles in his/her moccasins, stop and walk ten miles more. After that, return the shoes, talk awhile and forget the judgment because we change with each person we meet and come in come in contact with.
What Gives Me Hope
Education. The fact that my children keep showing me their beauty and kindness everyday. We are all capable of change.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
Change the laws that allow people that abuse children and/or animals to go from a slap on the wrist, to go to jail a lot longer and have stiffer penalties.
What/who changed my life and why
Being able to come back into contact with one of my best friends while he was in his last years of cancer. I was able to meet and become a friend to his daughter, and grow from his joy and silent strength. He was a great man that was able to touch my soul and make me a more patient person and a greater person than I was before. I'm very lucky to have had him be a part of my life.

Brenda is a beautiful person that goes out of her way to help others, even when she is not feeling so good. I am glad to have her as my friend.
